Dark Writer
Those who write are a special band,
a close knit community, who most times stick together
However, though we are banded by either,
a special gift, or chosen profession
we kind of all ride the stormy weather,
Reading works from Shakespeare, Keats, Poe, Hemingway
Koontz, King, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
just to name a few,
I wonder just how closely we really are linked,
Lets face it, being a writer, we must have
quite an imagination.
Being a Poet, I have often wondered just how close,
my imagination could be construe as to being
temporary insanity, as I write to my congregation
And I also wonder, how or if anyone who reads,
my war poems, realizes that the imagery I write
is as though I am there and the image is new,
We all have written, at one time or another
about the highs and lows in our lives,
and have been consoled by others,
Some by friends, some by casual readers,yet
some have not shown consolation, but instead
scorns, Some even from their Mothers,
Yet, I am sure there are some such as Hemingway who,
have had issues, buried very deep, so deep
that the only way out was clear,
Perhaps all writers, Perhaps those who specifically write,
about darkness and despair, through most of their works
do so out of need,
Poets, In this writers opinion, are much deeper than the
average writer, for their writings, more so than not come quickly indeed,
Though I am not Sigmund Freud, That kind of quickness of thought,
Should be examined not necessarily consoled, to aid to heal
the darkness and despair, once and for all..........
I am not sure what type of write this is ,but it does have a rhyme scheme
